Sore, itchy, red spot "down there"?!
Question: Sore, itchy, red spot "down there"!?
Ok so I'm a 14 yr old girl and I ususally shave "down there" and recently after shaving it was really itchy and then these 2 red sore itchy spots occured on the pubic area!. Which hurt to touch!.
What could this be!? Could it just be from shaving!? It's kinda happened before but not as sore!. I'm not sexually active so it's no STI's!.
I'm just a bit worried!.
Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ingrown hairs - a total pain as I use to get them when I shaved and they got sore!. I would recommend getting a professional wax or using a hair removal cream - Nair is a good make and good at removing unwanted hair in that area!. If you want to stick to shaving make sure you use plenty of shaving gel etc and your blade isnt old as that can cause ingrown hairs - also remember to moisturise the area afterwards!. Good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Staph bugs - they're always crawling all over your body, but if you shave then you make tiny wounds that the staph bugs get into!. And I'm thinking they cause a "boil" - a red spot that hurts like crazy!.
Keep the red spots clean - hold a really hot wash cloth against them!. Staph bugs don't like heat!. Wash the red spot with Witch Hazel as often as you think of it!. It's real soothing!.
It's nice to shave, but do it slowly and carefully! Shave after a bath or shower when the little hairs are wet and soft!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dont worry its probably an ingrown hair!. If you put some vaseline on it then a bandaid b4 you go 2 sleep then it should help it out!. Stop shaving for a little while!. And if it doesnt go away see a doctor!. Im almost 14 and the same thing happened to me so I kno how you feel!.!.!. GoodluckWww@Answer-Health@Com
Dont worry, its an ingrown hair!. Kinda looks like a pimple, huh!? It will go away after awile, though i wouldn't shave down there anymore!. If you dont like hair down there it's better to get it waxed then shave it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Use a low dose Cortisone cream!. It will not burn you, believe me!. I had to use it recently and it does work!. Make sure you follow directions and that you are consistent!. You'll feel better in a few days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
